Scope:

Automobile Engineering deals with designing, analyzing, manufacturing, operations, and safety of automobiles. The learning concept is basically on vehicle engineering which deals with motorcycles, cars, buses, trucks, earth-moving equipment, etc. Interdisciplinary areas of mechanical, electronic, software, and safety elements are the main scope of the study. A graduate in Automobile Engineering has multiple career opportunities in core automobile industries, to pursue higher studies in India and Abroad, to start his/her service centre, and to be an Entrepreneur. The drastic shift in the auto policy global wide gives lots of challenging opportunities and avenues for an automobile engineering graduate in India.

Job Roles:

Automotive engineering involves a combination of different engineering fields, which are applied in the design, development and production of automotive vehicles. Automotive engineers are involved in the design, manufacture, distribution, marketing, sales and after-sales of two, three, four, multi-wheeled and other commercial vehicles. Engineers will work on the aesthetics and technical performance of these vehicles and, increasingly, the electronics and software involved with modern vehicles. While most automotive engineers are employed by vehicle manufacturers, other employers include tyre manufacturers, specialist vehicle design companies, research/test laboratories, motorsport teams, oil and fuel companies, and suppliers and service sectors. Self-employment via consultancy and contract work is possible for individuals with several years’ relevant experience. In addition to this, an Automobile Engineers also have the option of joining the academia and research and serve the society.
